About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the cement contractor bond actually guarantees

The City of Waco's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 22-72, bars anyone from constructing, reconstructing, or repairing a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or other concrete work on public property in the city without a $5,000 surety bond on file — approved by the city attorney and delivered to the City Secretary's Office. No bond on file, no work.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Waco (the obligee), protecting the city's streets, curbs, and sidewalks. Contractors bonded under this program are held to a 12-month maintenance period after the work, during which defects must be repaired within 30 days of notice.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays the city, you repay the surety. We keep the bond on file for the length of your permit and the full maintenance period so you are never caught mid-project without coverage.

Waco Code of Ordinances § 22-72Section 22-72 (Code of Ordinances, Ch. 22, Art. III) bars anyone from constructing, reconstructing, or repairing a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or other concrete work on public property in Waco without filing a bond with the city, approved by the city attorney; the city's own bond form — titled the 'Concrete Contractor's Bond' — fixes the amount at $5,000 and is delivered to the City Secretary's Office.
